Review on RA for All: http://raforall.blogspot.com/2017/06/ra-for-all-roadshow-hits-ala-read-n.html

I read an advanced copy for my Read N Rave panel at the 2017 ALA Annual conference. Details in the post.

Publishers sent me hundreds of titles in advance and I was tasked with picking anything I wanted to “Rave."

Strong character development? No

Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.5. I was really into this for the first half of the book but the ending really slowed down for me. I like the characters and the plot so I’m not sure what my issue was other than the pacing. I’m curious to see if things pick up in book 2.

Second time reading (the physical book this time) and I liked it more. It was able to follow better and remember the history.
